Pasadena Area Directory Of Services

Once in awhile, on our 365 Things To Do In Pasadena Facebook Page, a question comes up asking for a recommendation for a particular service or store.  Best referrals are from happy and satisfied customers, right?

Below’s a list of reader suggested recommendations (with reader provided comments) for businesses in and around Pasadena California.*

Automotive

Mechanics

Accurate Autoworks on Hill is the BEST! They specialize in Honda and Toyota. Very honest, excellent work!

Fuji Auto on E. Colorado  – I used them when I still had a Honda and then an old Mazda. Now I use Kyle’s Automotive on Walnut at Allen for my Villager. (They used to be at the Mobil Station on South Lake.) Very honest, helpful, and family run.

Honcura Shop is possibly worth the drive to Glendale — fast (often on the spot), reasonable, good, answers questions on the phone before you come, tells you prices in advance. I took my Lexus to him but as the name implies, he specializes in Japanese cars: (818) 243-1989.

Nishikawa on Fair Oaks. I’ve been using them for years (like 20)

Sids Auto Repair – 2315 Fair Oaks Ave, Altadena, CA 91001-5740 (626) 794-8996 (They have super reasonable prices, they finish when they say they will, and they do a great job.)
